The Virtual Gaze

First things first:


Show Me Yours
(And I'll Blow You Mine)

Open sex filters are emotional spam filters are ways of creating character armor in proto-prophylactic fashion. Is that a virtual condom you're wearing over your aura or are you just unhappy to see me?


Unconditional Love
(A Reader-Response Theory)

This is what happens when you find yourself becoming-avatar and watching your artwork on the "Society of the Spectacle" reflect itself back to you in the disintermediated space of pure machinic vision.


Sometimes I Have to Look Away
(But Then Again That's Not Me Speaking)

There are always second chances, but are there really second lives?
